00:44 - ApothecaryI never saw the appeal of Pallbearer. Ok music, but not worth the enormous praise they've been getting by some. Didn't ever impress me much on album and when I saw them live with Deafheaven I wasn't really won over either

Iconic US progressive metallers Dream Theater's guitar player and founder John Petrucci announced via his personal Facebook that the band has started writing for their upcoming album and follow-up to 2011's A Dramatic Turn Of Events. The band will also be filming a DVD on their next North American tour, although no further details were yet disclosed.

John Petrucci posted the following message: "Writing for the next DT album officially commenced while in Osaka the other day. Jet lag seems to open up one's creative channels."

Girl, were you always this crazy over DT or did you become so obsessed lately?

I've loved them for three years. I can't handle "defeat" all too well, so when the newest album came out, I was pretty devastated I can't go through it in one sitting because of how much I didn't like it. I've heard so-so albums from them before but this never happened to me. So for some reason I didn't play any DT at all until New Years' or so, and then I slowly started getting them into my "diet" again, and then... all the feelings

I love all my favorite bands ridiculously much, though. They just mean a lot to me.

You will probably outgrow them soon? I had a friend who was a huge DT fanboy for 4-5 years, now he listens to reggae and ska

I can't believe that they are still releasing material, it will be cool if they surprise everyone and release something really good.

There's a chance I'll outgrow all my favorite bands of course, but I don't think so they aid me a lot in dealing with my demons, and since I'll never get rid of the demons, I'll always need those bands.

So John, if you're reading this, help me out here and write something better, okaythanksbye.

Whoooo....

*twirls his pointer finger around in the air and goes to listen to a Haken album*

Hark, what is that I hear? Portnoy's voice out of nowhere from far away saying 'ditch the zero, get with the hero'?

I'm not going to get overly excited about the next album, because of the last one. This could go either way. The DVD is interesting though. Apparently they've been doing short sets this tour but that would be disappointing on a DVD, so hopefully they'll film "An Evening With" or something similar. Would really like to see The Count of Tuscany.

Maybe Portnoy was right and they should take longer breaks, it seems like they are forcing out albums every 2 years whether or not they're high quality. Lots of filler, lots of bland songs. Still some good ones but the last one was so average I have a hard time believing that starting to write a new one this soon is a good move. Did they suddenly become inspired? Seems unlikely, they may just be making a new album because it's what they do. But they're not a young band anymore and they may have stretched their sound as far as it will go.

I don't want to think that. I'll just enjoy the good parts of the album when it comes out.

I think that last album was great! I mean for me, every album that DT made is masterpiece, i enjoy listening to every note of their songs no mather which album is! I'm realy exited about DVD just because of last album, i can't wait to hear Outcry, Breaking all illusions, Bridges in the sky and ofc really would like to see The count of tuscany, that would be great.

They have announced several times they'd like to do An Evening With again on this very tour, so I think there's a high chance of that happening.
As for the The Count Of Tuscany:
(I wish I made that)

Well not to pick a fight with you (no reason to, we're both DT fans) but don't you think it's a tad fanboy-ish to consider all their albums to be masterpieces? I'd say they have about 2-4 classics and the rest are inconsistent to various degrees. I'm curious to see how the new songs work live though, especially "Breaking All Illusions".

Excellent news, thanks for confirming that. Beautiful pic as well, but why isn't the c(o)unt SUCKING ON HIS PIPE?

I grew up listening DT. I remembered listening Awake and Images and Words been fascinated into these prog rock music. After Train on Thought, it has been a lack of HIGH TOP songs they have released that I'm so deeply disappointed. The count of tuscany is a jewel in the middle of so much chaos. But 90% of their new songs after TofT aren't songs that DT should have ever release. When Mike left I felt at the beggining that he was wrong and he commite a mistake. But guys please, the past 15 years they have released an album each 2 years. That's just to much. I feel so bad sometimes because there are songs that actually have become part of my life, but they need a 5 year brake analize their music their style their feelings approaches, bring MP back and start all over again. That's MY opinion. and guys I love DT, but sometimes is not just about love.
